Val as a Competitive Eater



I thought I’d share one more portrait project this week. As you all know, I am a HUGE fan of competitive eating. Over the last couple of years I have travelled far and wide to over fifteen contests, including driving to Chattanooga three times for the Krystal Square Off and flying twice to Coney Island for the Fourth of July hot dog eating contest! So I decided to have some fun this week and do a self portrait of what it would look like if I was a competitive eater!

From this experiment I have determined that I could never ever ever be a professional eater myself, and have way more of a respect for anyone who can! I got through about two bites before I started just spitting the dogs out between takes. And left enough debris for a major deduction, leaving my record at somewhere around -5. It was kind of gross! But, without further ado, here I am as a competitive eater!

…and here is the after:

Portrait Session with Flopsy the Jackalope



I had the opportunity last week to do a little portrait session with the five kinds of lighting. So I decided to bring Flopsy, our Jackalope mascot, out to model. He had lots of fun, so I thought I’d share today his portrait session photos!

The Sinclair Oil Dinosaur – St. Louis, Missouri



Finding a Sinclair Station Dinosaur in Missouri was harder than I’d imagined…

One would be closed.

One would be open, but not have a dino in site.

Another would be turned into a used car lot.

But finally, just at the end of my Missouri road trip, we’d try just one last time in St. Louis, and be successful!
